IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read carefully before operating your amplier:
Follow these basic precautionary measures to ensure a longer life for your amplifier, and to reduce
the risk of electric shock.

REPLACING THE FUSE
An additional fuse has been enclosed in the fuse
compartment of your amplifier, directly below
the power input. The fuse compartment contains
an active fuse and a replacement. The fuse protects
against power surges. If your amplifier does not
power up as usual, the fuse may need to
be replaced.
If the fuse fails:
1. Turn the amplifier power off.
2. Unplug the amplifier.
3. Detach the power cord and set aside.
4. Carefully insert a flathead screwdriver to
open the fuse compartment. Be careful not
to break the fuse inside.
5. Remove the blown fuse from the inner
(active) slot.
6. Move the new fuse from the outer slot to the
inner slot.
7. Close the fuse compartment.
8. Discard the blown fuse.
Note: If you replace the fuse and the amplifier
still does not power up, have the unit checked by
a qualified repairperson.
